Herniated discs are common, particularly if you’re athletic or aging. Or both. Most of the time, a slipped disc heals on its own with physical therapy and medications. If it doesn’t, you may need surgery to fix the herniation and relieve the pain.

Your joints let you move freely and painlessly throughout your day. But joints, like all body parts, are subject to degradation and disease. To keep your joints healthy both now and in the future, adopt these habits.
Your back hurts so much that it’s basically useless. You can’t twist. You can’t bend. You can’t sit. If more conservative measures fail, don’t jump to spinal fusion. Artificial disc replacement keeps you pain-free and preserves your mobility, too.
